Nilla "good beginners bow"

If the draw lenth fits you fairly close and you can draw it back without difficulty it's a good beginners bow. I would suggest you get with a shop or clup to help dial in the draw lenth and weight, arrows, etc, etc.
You got to type more than just a title bro. We all started somewhere.
Welcome to the forum.

I'm in Massachusetts, sorry I can't help with a Cal club. Go up to the top of the page and in smaller print look for "find archery shoots near you" (in the green bar). Try a search by zip-code and you might come up with a few.

Starting in 2002, our goal was to become the central location for all Archery Shoot schedules, not just 3D. Our database includes shoots from nearly all 50 states and Canada. In 2010, we surpassed 6500 registered shoot dates. We have established ourselves as the leading provider of archery shoot information. We will continue to provide you with the most up to date Archery Tournament and Archery Event Schedules anywhere.
